Department.

I  N  T R  ODUCTION 


Report  upon  the  Comparative  Merits  of  Anthracite  and  Bituminous 
Coal,  to  which  was  added  in  a  second  edition,  issued  in  1888,  a  num- 
ber of  analyses  and  tests  of  different  kinds  of  coal,  together  with  cor- 
rections in  the  tables  to  that  date.  A  third  edition  was  issued  in 
1892,  omitting  the  discussion  of  the  relative  merits  of  anthracite  and 
bituminous  coal ;  the  form  of  the  tables  was  altered  in  some  particu- 
lars and  many  additions  and  corrections  were  made.  A  fourth  edition 
was  issued  in  1900  and  a  supplement  thereto  in  1905. 

In  the  compilation  of  the  present  edition  information  has  been 
obtained  from  reports  from  cruising  vessels  and  other  official  sources, 
from  the  proprietors  of  docks  and  industrial  establishments,  and  from 
various  commercial  and  technical  publications,  such  as  the  Dock 
Book  of  the  British  Hydrographic  Office,  and  Lloyd's  Register. 

This  compilation  was  made  by  direction  and  under  the  supervision 
of  Rear-Admiral  Raymond  P.  Rodgers,  U.  S.  N.,  formerly  Chief 
Intelligence  Officer. 

C.  E.  Vreeland,
